Think you're being way too conciliatory here.

Don't think that Bibi was offensive enough.

Israel is hated solely because it's the only Jewish nation on earth.. The demonic despises it's success and rages between envy and fear. But violence stays a constant.

A world with Carney's, Macrons, Blair's and Trudeau's is very much all the world deserves. Having Ireland and South Africa daring to put us in the dock is a howling joke and Bibi should have pasted Milibands and Sanchez's all over the walls. The west is going Judenrein ,and let Islam out it to the scimitar.

When Trump goes? The deluge surely.

Israel will stand though.

"The world has far more to gain from working with Israel than from hating it." This sentence contains enormous truth but as a non Jew who supports Israel, I must say that even so much truth does not matter at all. The people who hate Israel, the left and followers of Islam (FOI), hate the good for being good. The left does so because they are now fully nihilist and FOI do so because the good is achieved through non Islamic activity. (This is also why they hate America as a free productive country.) So no matter how wonderfully creative and productive Israel may be, both groups will continue to hate Israel (I admit it is only a guess but I think Netanyahu realizes this.)

That is not who Bibi is, and for these times, when facts are inverted and people are primed for hatred irrelevant. In fact it feels like begging to me and that's a non-starter.

Fabulous! Now let’s hope the next Prime Minister of Israel knows to check with you before writing a speech for the UN!

It doesn’t matter what Bibi says or not, what matters is that we all saw the Terrorists scurrying off in shame and we all know who they are.

Joshua, another well reasoned and executed article. Only by listening and using grey matter, will your sound bites be heard. And with 77 ‘useless nations’ turning a ‘deaf ear’, the UN proved it is exactly that, ‘Utter Nonsense’.

The tsunami against Israel and us Jews seems to be getting stronger and even more of a challenge to reverse, whilst the islamisation of western societies continues unabated. Nationalism in Europe needs to rise, and challenge the incumbent left wing socialism which has facilitated and partnered with Islam.

A tale of two speeches. Each with a different purpose. The one he gave was angry--and rightfully so. Angry-- and presuming that it's in spite of all Israel does (which is your alternate. speech) conveys that the "World could not care less".

But for the sheer sake of "saying it"--I agree that it should be said--irrespective of the bigotry that allows whole nations to cheat themselves in the process of making Israel a "pariah".

I would contact Bibi with your suggestion. What has he got to lose?

I totally agree. First defend and then brag ending with indictment of accusing all the dissenters whatbisraelmiffers and what and who they advance lies and propaganda rather than extend hand of friendship on Side of right peace and respect

I only had time for your opening premise. Vintage Josh at your finest. Can’t wait to read the whole thing. Sukkoth S’Mayach.

This is a terrific essay Joshua…this should be shared broadly

Facts don’t count, indoctrinated useful idiots are beyond understanding objective truth. First, either their virus goes into remission or reason will have to wait for future generations. Meanwhile, Israel and Diaspora must stay strong - yes for building alliances but no to dependencies!
